FOCUS ON ENGINE LUBRICATION

Ken Garrett reviews recent literature on lube-oil systems and their effect on bearing and overall engine design. This is followed by a report by Alan Baker on Renold work with chain drives, including oil contamination effects. John Fenton then reports on lubrication system design at Perkins. This is followed by a discourse on abrasion wear from researchers at Brunel University.
